But his weight on the list doesn’t seem to match...

 

[LongforDodd]

He did. He doesn’t look like Homer Simpson this season

I would have bet 200-210 last season. And lost the bet, I guess.

Wow!! The weight gains across the board, if true, are humongous.

All done in only, what, five or six months since CGC’s hire?

True, or false? I’m really not sure what to believe. A lot of the players, including the linemen, certainly didn’t look any bigger in the spring game just last week.

Perhaps “before and after” photos of the players might help. You know, like what they do in print advertisements and television commercials (except it’s usually weight losses in those, not weight gains).

Ol
The new weights look real while the old weights look heavy. Last years ol guys when they were on the lean quick scheme. Defoor was 305 when he arrived and his dad said he was headed towards low 280s . Quinney seems to be a naturally thin person unlike defoor who is a just a big dude. Cooper and hansen ,who are both 6ft 2 max are still very "thick " ( how u describe a fat lady) - hopefully more muscled.

By fall the first ol will be tranformed so they can do a lean version of the "bear hug move to the side " blocking .

Many will cry during the first game.

Harvin looks like he cut back on the beer and late night fastfood. But hell, idc what his diet is, that man can absolutely boom a football.

Carella was worth every penny and more

Oliver put on 30lbs in 3-4months

Kaleb?

 

[Ibeeballin]

Kaleb?

Tobias

Tobias

Maybe position switch to RB?

 

[plangineer]

It’s entirely possible to both gain weight and look thinner (more muscle, less fat).

Ditto this, especially based on this tweet:

Ditto this, especially based on this tweet:

Excellent form on the lift. Problem = it's not a real clean. A clean is from the floor to your chest. But that can lead to injury if the weight falls the wrong way on your shoulders. This is how a lot of programs do it nowadays. But I'm old school on this.

 

[takethepoints]

One other thing.

Normally, I would look carefully into the sanity of anybody who believed the weights and heights reported for college football players. They are famous for exaggeration. However, I think the gains reported above are accurate. Part of this is just natural growth (Tobias, I think). For the OLs, though, it is the change in offense. Paul wanted his OLs to be lean mean fighting machines. The spread option required that to do all the second level blocking and pulling needed. We had some big OLs - Shamire - but most of them were told to keep their weights in control. You could see this on the field; opposing OLs usually had severe cases of Dunlops disease compared to Tech's players. Now we have an offense that requires bigger OLs for pass blocking and less mobility for the blocking schemes. And that's what we got after a season in the weight room. Give them another off season and they'll be even bigger. Good effort by the players.

Interesting, the DL is a little on the smallish side. Imagine UGA and Clemson running at us

Yes. Losing Brandon was a major blow, to his family, all Tech fans, team spirit, and to the DL. I was so looking forward to seeing him play this season!

Still, DLs are usually smaller, sometimes by a good bit, then shotgun spread OLs. DLs need mobility; one or two big guys or guys who can generate leverage can be enough. We have those, I think; whether they'll be enough is TBA.

I did that once but it was the same type of 30 lbs. lol

 

[85Escape]

Ditto this, especially based on this tweet:

Yep. And I cleaned 234 lbs once or twice myself before I lost weight. Now I only clean 180 lbs. I try to do it every morning before work so that I don't smell up the office.
